Homemade Beaded Bubble Wands

We made our own snazzy bubble wands! I don't need to include a detailed photo tutorial since anything I can figure out how to make myself you can certainly figure out from this photo.


I happened to have these plastic pipe cleaners and alphabet beads already, but if you are going out to get some beads, buy wood! The world does not need more unnecessary plastic baubles.

I owe this idea entirely to one of my delightful readers. Last week when I posted about my automatic bubble maker, Anna from Three Sneaky Bugs sent me a link to this post about gorgeous beaded wire bubble wands. I love that her wands are plastic-free and if you have to purchase your own supplies that is the way to go. I didn't have any wire or beautiful glass, shell and wooden beads hanging about, but the idea worked quite nicely with pipe cleaners!
